[16:33:17] <tantek> if we are simply seeing internals being exposed, then the Windows Live Contacts folks are not to blame for the reinvention, merely for "not doing enough", as you made your point vis-a-vis Oauth

[18:48:59] <tantek> Note that at the bottom of Windows Live Contacts API: REST Schema http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb463953.aspx it says "This represents the schema at the time of publication, but the production schema may have additional, fewer, or different elements." - let's make that "different" elements happen. Replace all the reinvented stuff with vCard/hCard terminology please.
